In Chicago, the second season of "$1MCOAL" aired for about two weeks in the morning and Sunday afternoon on WGBO--and about that time Milt Grant started defaulting on some of the programming packages he'd spent too much money on for his station and L/T took the show back.  Didn't air in Chicago again, except for the few people who had WOR on cable.

That same year, "Strike It Rich" ran at 1 a.m. for WGBO for maybe six weeks or so.  Blair Entertainment had more patience with Grant.

Did KXAS air any NBC game shows at their normal times?  ISTR KXAS showing Wheel at 11:30am around then.

And IIRC, Super Password was in the afternoon at like 3 or 4.

However, I think Caesar's Challenge was at 11 CST, so that might've been right (wasn't CC a noon EST show?)

SP always aired at 11AM.  WOF was at 1130 for a great many years.  The other "regular" shows I can recall offhand were CS, P+, HitMan, Just Men, Dream House, Go, Hot Potato and Scrabble.

When they switched to the "how many out of 10" end game, they also had the trip when the kids played, and Bob explained that since the trip was significantly less expensive than the cars they usually give away, the player won the trip (instead of $500) for being off by one.   (They did this with the car on the show's last episode, but the player was off by two.)

As for "when did $1MCOAL air where you live", in San Francisco, KRON aired it either at 4:00 or 4:30.  (I think it was on an hour block with Jeopardy! at one point, right after KRON realized it was not a once-a-week show...)
